Following on from Richard's post about Scottish Athletics membership here is a reminder of key dates for the cross country season up until Xmas time.
It would be great to get as many Harriers as possible out racing at these events, especially as all of these are relatively close by:
Sat 7th October - West District XC Relays - Alexandra Park, Dennistoun - Harriers Grand Prix Event
Saturday 21st October - National XC Relays - Cumbernauld - Harriers GP Event
Saturday 4th November - Short Course XC - Lanark - Harriers GP Event
Saturday 18th November - West District XC League - Kilmarnock (an event for those not going to Brampton)
Saturday 2nd December - West District XC Championships - Strathaven - Harriers GP Event
For those new to the harriers the XC relays in particular are a great introduction to XC racing with the distance only 4Km for each leg and it's a fun, supportive team environment.
There will be a reminder posted before this year starts of the Grand Prix rules but the main thing is you've got to be in it to win it with the more races completed gives a great chance of winning. Any questions just ask.
A great supplement to the Harriers XC training is the GAA endurance Saturday morning sessions. These are open to all from U15 upwards. Dates this year are:
14th October - Bellahouston
11th November - Tollcross Park
16th December - Pollok Park
28th December - Bellahouston
A reminder will go out on WhatsApp on the week leading up to this so we can all see who's planning on attending.
